Ive got a 93 Ranger 3.0 V6 5 speed 4x4 with 314,000 miles. After blowing a head gasket in the original engine at 302,000 miles, I found a 3.0 from a 2001 Ranger with only 60,000 miles for a steal of a price. I used the long block from the 01 and put my 93 ignition system on it since it uses a distributor and the 01 did not. The truck fired right up on the first try and Ive been driving for over a year now. It has developed a single miss after changing gears or a sudden acceleration like stomping the gas pedal. It only misses one time then continues to run like a top otherwise. It don't affect anything other than its annoying when driving knowing every time I shift gears its going to misfire a single time. All the ignition parts are new including the distributor. They were put on during the engine change (figured it was the perfect time to do so). Any ideas are greatly appreciated.
